Taxus baccata
Taxus baccata, the traditional English Yew, is a classic evergreen conifer with a long history in British gardens, churchyards and historic landscapes. Its dense, dark green foliage provides valuable colour, structure and shelter throughout the year.
Slow growing and exceptionally long lived, it develops an upright, broadly spreading habit that can be maintained as a formal hedge, shaped into topiary or allowed to mature as an impressive specimen. Female plants may also produce ornamental red fruits in autumn that attract garden birds.
Hardy, versatile and tolerant of regular clipping, Common Yew thrives in full sun or shade and grows successfully in most well-drained soils. Its adaptability and dependable garden performance have earned it the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
